To be honest I wasn't sure about watching it I stopped once or twice but I did continue to watch and I'm glad I did..my grandmother was born 1919 and she never seemed to like japanese people, me on the other hand I'ma weeb/ otaku I love everything about the Japanese people and their culture to the point where I wish I was one I'd love if one day I could visit japan..this movie told more on the Japanese side of the war and if I must say it was heart breaking..my grandmother passed 2015 I love and miss her but I wish I could have shown her what I see I wish I could've changed her outlook but sadly I wasn't able to..
